The best St. Nicholas Statue ever!


St Nicholas fresco

Now, from the artistic tradition that created the magnificent icons that grace the great cathedrals of Russia (where, for centuries, St. Nicholas has been particularly revered and loved) comes . . .
the best
St. Nicholas Statue 
ever:

It's over 12" tall
Back view of statue.




. . . yet hand-painted, front and back, with loving attention to detail
(Look closely: note the delicate gradation of tones in the blues and greens, and the soft blush on Nicholas's cheeks. See how carefully even his eyes are painted.)

Look closely at
the Nativity Tableau:


With the 
Star of Bethlehem shining down on the Holy Family (and half-a-dozen other bright stars come down from Heaven to gaze upon them, too) . . .
Detail of Nativity.


. . . St. Joseph lifts his hand to bless the Newborn . . .

. . . who Himself blesses His adoring mother as she gazes down upon Him:
Detail of the Virgin Mary.


Finally, turning His face directly to us, the Baby Jesus blesses you and me, too:

Nowhere else will you find a statue of St. Nicholas as handsome as this, or as well-crafted.
Take it in hand.
Examine it closely.
It's virtually indistinguishable from the lovingly-designed, hand-carved wooden statue from which its mold was made.

And today, I'm sending this ad to over 20,000, customers, most of whom have children or grandchildren who will be charmed by our St. Nicholas.
